North Turramurra update for 19 Jan

I noticed yesterday that there were three trees across the trail on the single track section between Samuel King Park and McRae Place. One at a very awkward height at the dip just before the small creek crossing (assuming travelling from Samuel King to McRae), one on the ground a bit further along and then another about head height leaning against another tree.

A few more roots and small rocks showing through the dirt than I recall as I imagine the rain has caused quite a bit of erosion.

Speaking of erosion, watch out for the water bars on the descent from the Clissold/McRae fire road turn off down to Lover's Jump Creek. All the rain lately has washed out the approach/uphill side of the water bars so the angle is a bit steeper than it used to be. Still good fun even on my XC bike, but pay attention if travelling at speed as you might want to either back off a bit or be prepared to 'help' your front wheel up the face of the water bars.
